Having passed the age of 70, I am getting on in years. After the nine-in-one elections in November last year, I had quite a few chats with young people. I asked them about how they voted and found the thinking of those who voted for non-Taiwan-centric candidates worth discussing.

Written by Chris Buckley and Chris Horton Advertising President Xi Jinping declared Wednesday that he wants progress on China’s decades-long quest to win control of Taiwan. But his proposal appeared unlikely to win over residents of the self-ruled island, who have seen Hong Kong’s freedoms in rapid retreat under a similar deal. Xi stressed how vital unification with Taiwan is...

A look at the complex political situation on the island of Taiwan. The island of Taiwan is administered by the Republic of China, which lost the Chinese Civil War to the Communists which control the mainland to this day, proclaiming the People\'s Republic of China in 1949.
Both the ROC and the PRC claim to be the legitimate government of China. Taiwan is a de facto independent country but is not a member of the United Nations since being replaced in 1971 by the PRC.
The current situation is stuck in a stalemate with the two ways of resolving the dispute (unification and independence) both seeming very unlikely to happen any time soon.

US NAVY CHIEF: Aircraft carrier could be sail through Taiwan Strait amid threat of Chinese missiles - The US Navy has not ruled out sending an aircraft carrier through the Taiwan Strait, despite military technology advances by China that pose a greater threat to its warships than ever before, the chief of America’s naval operations said on Friday.
Washington sent ships through the strategic waterway that separates Taiwan from the Chinese mainland three times last year as it makes more frequent transits of the strait, but it has not dispatched a carrier in more than 10 years.
During that time, China has modernised its forces with missiles designed to strike enemy ships.
“We don’t really see any kind of limitation on whatever type of ship could pass through those waters,” Admiral John Richardson told reporters in the Japanese capital, when asked if more advanced Chinese weapons posed too great a risk.
“We see the Taiwan Strait as another stretch of international waters, so that’s why we do the transits.”
Aircraft carriers, typically equipped with about 80 aircraft and crews of about 5,000, are key to the US military’s ability to project power globally.
The comments follow increasing cross-strait tensions in which Beijing’s renewed push for Chinese reunification has seen it adopting more aggressive stance.
In response to this Taipei and Washington have been moving closer together.
Earlier this month President Xi Jinping reiterated that China would not rule out the use of force and insisted the island must eventually be reunited with the mainland.
He also said Beijing “reserves...
